Best Practices for TIFF to WEBP

📋 Before Converting
  • Keep TIFF originals for print needs.
  • Decide between lossy and lossless output.
  • For transparency-heavy images, consider lossless.
  • Target appropriate pixel dimensions for the web.
  • Batch-convert galleries for consistency.
✅ After Converting
  • Verify visual quality on retina and standard displays.
  • Measure size savings vs TIFF.
  • Use responsive srcset and WebP fallbacks if needed.
  • Provide PNG/JPEG fallback for older clients if required.
  • Test transparency rendering in target browsers.

When to Use TIFF vs WEBP

🖨️ Use TIFF When
  • Professional printing and prepress
  • Archival and master assets
  • Exact color depth and fidelity required
  • Layered/metadata-rich workflows
🌐 Use WEBP When
  • Websites and mobile apps
  • Performance-critical pages
  • Large image galleries and catalogs
  • Transparency with smaller sizes

Troubleshooting Common Issues

Increase WebP quality or switch to lossless for critical assets.

WebP supports alpha; verify in target browsers or provide PNG fallback.

Increase compression, resize dimensions, or try lossy mode if lossless was used.
